Location: Puako Beach, Kamuela, HawaiiPrice: $10.28 million A California couple built this airy, one-story house as a second home, but “didn’t get there enough to use it,” said listing agent Rebecca J. Hirsch-Keliihomalu of MacArthur Sotheby’s International Realty. For those hunting for a beachfront bargain, not only is this home for sale, but the price has been reduced by nearly $700,000. Sliding glass pocket doors open to the lanai; a walkway leads from the main house to the guesthouse. Palm trees grow on the property, as do fragrant white gardenias. The home has views of Hawaii’s North Kohala coast, and, from a greater distance, of the Hualālai volcano, which last erupted in 1801, but is considered likely to erupt again, according to the United States Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The Stats The stucco house, set on 1.62 acres, was built in 2012 by Clever Construction of Kailua-Kona. The property has four bedroom suites, two in the main house, and two in the guesthouse. Each bedroom has a full bath. There’s also a partial bathroom. The home, including the guesthouse, measures 4,294 square feet. Amenities The property boasts about 350 feet of sandy beachfront, and three open anchialine ponds, which are a mix of fresh and brackish water near the surface, as well as the salt water that flows from below. The ocean is reached only by clambering over lava rocks. Neighborhood Notes Puako Beach is a small community, with 100 full-time residents, and many part-time vacationers. The Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani beach resorts are located nearby, offering snorkeling and diving—and for those who prefer dry land—golf courses and tennis courts. Beachgoers may catch a glimpse of sea turtles and monk seals, as well as the occasional view of migrating humpback whales. Agent: Rebecca J.
